It could, but what kind of video tape is it. The judge might be a little freaked out to watch a video of adultery.

That depends upon the laws of the state in which you live in, as well as the conditions under which you acquired the video footage.
Some state laws provide for the admission of recorded evidence which you procured within the confines of your home, regardless of how you got it. While others do not.
Check your local state laws for this answer.

it depends on how the video tape was obtained. There are different statutes in almost every state so you should check that out for your state. If it turns out that the video was illegally obtained then it cannot be used in court.

Not if the couple didn't know there were being taped. That's against the law.

most states are "no-fault" divorce states. the tape would probably not be a factor. check with your lawyer.

If the judge admits it over the objections of the opposing attorney, I don't see why not.

The judge would use it to make his/her decision-it'll show whose at fault for the marriage ending and who'll have to pay alimony, etc.

Sure, if it even matters in your state. Some states do not have laws against adultry.
